Safety Instructions and Precautions
To ensure safe operation of the Masterpro 12-in-1 Multi Cooker, carefully read and follow these safety instructions. Always place the cooker on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Ensure the easy-lock handle is securely fastened before starting any cooking program. Never attempt to open the lid while the cooker is pressurized; use the pressure release valve to safely release pressure.
Keep children away from the cooker during operation, as the exterior surfaces can become hot. Do not immerse the cooker base in water or other liquids to prevent electric shock. Regularly check the pressure valve, floating air valve, and anti-block shield for any obstructions. Use only the provided accessories, such as the steam rack, soup ladle, rice paddle, and measuring cup, to avoid damaging the appliance.
When using the pressure cooking function, be cautious of hot steam released during pressure release. Allow the cooker to cool completely before cleaning or storing. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified technician. Always unplug the cooker when not in use and before performing any maintenance. Failure to follow these precautions may result in injury or damage to the appliance.
Operating Instructions: A Step-by-Step Guide
To begin using your Masterpro 12-in-1 Multi Cooker, start by placing the inner pot inside the cooker housing. Add your ingredients into the inner pot, ensuring not to exceed the maximum fill line indicated. Secure the lid, aligning the arrow on the lid with the corresponding mark on the cooker. Ensure the easy-lock handle is properly engaged.
Next, plug the cooker into a power outlet. Select your desired cooking function using the control panel. You can choose from various pre-set programs like sauté, slow cook, steam, or pressure cook. Adjust the cooking time and temperature according to your recipe. The LED display will show the selected settings. For pressure cooking, ensure the pressure valve is in the sealed position.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, the cooker will automatically switch to the keep warm setting. If pressure cooking, release the pressure carefully using either the quick release or manual release method. Once all pressure is released, you can safely open the lid. Use oven mitts to handle the hot inner pot. Unplug the cooker after use and allow it to cool before cleaning. Refer to the cleaning and maintenance section for detailed instructions.
Exploring the 12 Built-in Cooking Programs
The Masterpro 12-in-1 Multi Cooker offers a diverse range of cooking programs to simplify meal preparation. These pre-set functions eliminate guesswork and ensure consistent results. One of the most versatile programs is the pressure cooking function, ideal for quickly cooking tough cuts of meat or beans. The slow cook function allows you to prepare tender, flavorful dishes over a longer period.
For healthier options, explore the steaming program, perfect for vegetables and fish. The sauté function lets you brown ingredients directly in the cooker before adding liquids.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for prolonging the life of your Masterpro 12-in-1 Multi Cooker and ensuring safe operation. Always unplug the cooker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The inner pot is removable and typically dishwasher-safe, making cleanup easier. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is also recommended to prevent any potential damage to the non-stick coating.
Wipe the exterior of the cooker with a damp cloth. Avoid immersing the main unit in water or any other liquid. Pay close attention to cleaning the steam release valve and anti-block shield, ensuring they are free from food particles. These components are essential for safe pressure release.
Regularly check the sealing ring for any cracks or damage. A damaged sealing ring can compromise the cooker’s ability to build pressure. The sealing ring should also be cleaned after each use to prevent odors from lingering. Store the multi cooker in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. With consistent cleaning, your multi cooker will remain a valuable kitchen appliance for years.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Encountering issues with your Masterpro 12-in-1 Multi Cooker? This section addresses common problems and provides potential solutions. If the cooker isn’t powering on, first verify that it’s properly plugged into a functioning outlet. Check the power cord for any damage. If the display shows an error code, consult the manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to that code.
If the cooker isn’t building pressure, ensure the sealing ring is correctly installed and free of debris. Also, confirm that the steam release valve is in the sealed position. Food splattering from the steam release valve often indicates overfilling; reduce the amount of ingredients.
If food is burning, decrease the cooking time or temperature. For uneven cooking, ensure ingredients are evenly distributed in the pot. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact customer support for further assistance. Remember to always prioritize safety when troubleshooting and never attempt to repair the cooker yourself.

The Masterpro 12-in-1 Multi Cooker comes with a variety of accessories designed to enhance its versatility.

Place the rack inside the inner pot, add water, and then arrange your ingredients on top.
The soup ladle is ideal for serving soups, stews, and other liquid-based dishes directly from the cooker. The rice paddle is specially designed to prevent rice from sticking, ensuring fluffy and perfectly cooked rice every time. Use the measuring cup to accurately measure ingredients, particularly liquids, for optimal cooking results.
Some models may also include a roasting rack, perfect for elevating meats and poultry for even browning and crisping. Understanding the function of each accessory will allow you to fully utilize your Masterpro Multi Cooker and expand your culinary possibilities.
